DEPENDABLE CONCRETE FORDEMANDING PROJECTS

Demanding projects require concrete that is tested, documented, and produced with precision. Quality-Crete combines certified mix designs, proven quality control procedures, accurate batching technology, and comprehensive testing to help ensure every yard meets project specifications.

TESTED FOR PERFORMANCEVERIFIED FOR QUALITY

At Quality-Crete, testing and certification are essential to consistent concrete performance. From our mix designs to every load we produce, rigorous quality-control processes help deliver consistent performance, verified strength, and dependable results.

  • Proven Mix Designs: All mix designs are tested in our lab and validated for strength, durability, and workability.

  • Reliable Verification: Yield verification and calibration help confirm accurate material proportioning and production quantities.

  • Quality Materials: We use only certified materials that meet or exceed industry and project specifications.

  • Trained Professionals: Our team follow rigorous training and quality procedures to maintain the highest standards in the industry.

  • Third-Party Standards: Our processes follow applicable VMMB, ASTM, and ACI standards to support consistent, documented concrete production.

QUALITY CONTROL FROM START TO FINISH

Our quality program covers every detail, including materials, mix designs, equipment, and people.

  • Mix Design
    Testing

    We design and test every mix to meet project requirements, verifying strength, slump, air, and durability before it ever reaches the job site, so results stay predictable.

  • Cylinder
    Testing

    Field and laboratory cylinders are tested at specified intervals to verify compressive strength and long term performance, with results documented for every project.

  • Materials
    Testing

    We evaluate cement, aggregates, admixtures, and other materials to verify they meet applicable specifications and standards before they are used in production.

  • Yield Verification & Calibration

    Our volumetric mixers are calibrated and verified to help ensure accurate material proportioning and consistent yield on every load, batch after batch, project after project.

  • Real Time
    Monitoring

    Onsite monitoring tracks key production parameters to help maintain accuracy and consistency throughout every load produced on the job site, from start to finish.

  • Quality
    Assurance

    Our quality program combines documentation, testing, continuous review, and oversight to maintain consistently high standards throughout every project.

WHY TESTING MATTERS

Rigorous testing helps identify potential issues before your concrete ever reaches the jobsite.

  • More Consistent Concrete Strength
  • Improved Long Term Durability
  • Reduced Risk of Failed Inspections
  • Reduced Waste and Rework
  • More Predictable Finishing
  • Greater Confidence in Every Pour

YIELD VERIFICATION & CALIBRATION

Accuracy matters. Routine calibration and yield verification help ensure consistent production and accurate quantities on every load.

  • Volumetric Mixer Calibration

  • Aggregate Gate Calibration

  • Independent Yield Testing

  • Scale Accuracy Checks

  • Production Accuracy Verification

Our quality program may include slump testing, air content testing, unit weight, yield verification, temperature measurements, compressive strength cylinder testing, moisture monitoring, and mix design evaluations as required by the project.

Concrete cylinders are cast and tested at specified ages to verify compressive strength and confirm that the mix design performs as expected over time.

Yield verification confirms that the volumetric mixer is producing the quantity of concrete expected from the calibrated material proportions. This helps ensure customers receive the concrete they pay for.

Our quality program is based on recognized industry standards and best practices, including ASTM testing procedures, ACI guidance, and recommendations from the Volumetric Mixer Manufacturers Bureau (VMMB), where applicable.

Volumetric mixers are routinely calibrated, inspected, and verified to maintain batching accuracy. Regular maintenance and documentation help ensure consistent concrete production.
